That could be the very C-96 and holster-stock I now own.

Interesting...Your link is from WW II In Color, so I assume that is a Chinese...

All 5 fingers wrapped around the grip; no trigger finger...Not too well versed in handguns??? Shoes seem funny for a soldier...

Looks like a "Bolo" version.
Typical configuration exported to chine during the 1920s.
Great picture indeed! Thanks for sharing.

I think the barrel is too long to be a "Bolo"?

looiks like he is on the moon...Nothing in the background..BUT Notice the lanyard attached to the pistol!

Dat be Leeroy. Soon after he had gender modification. I told him he was wrapped too tight, she/he was very insistant about taking the pic. Still hanging up on the 5 finger mode. I think that this pic is where lorraine bobitt got the idea.

Just rambling, it is a cold dreary night in the northeast.

From the furrows it looks like a not very recently plowed field in bright sunshine, (thus the loss of background).
From the pencil marks on the top it looks like somebody intended to crop the photo further.

Suede loafers and puttees...Must be an officer...

odd looking handle on the sword.

lugerholsterrepair · 08-16-2011, 11:06 AM

Tom, Thanks! I will...This guy looks more Mongolian than Chinese?

A soldier knows enough to keep his finger off the trigger unless he intends to fire his weapon.
Pretty basic stuff.
I spent a yrar and a half living and working with irregulars and from his look, I'd say he knows his business.
